12 Ex­pose thy­self

Films are like veins of min­er­als. Tap them for ideas and in­spi­ra­tion, es­pe­cially ones with rich vi­su­als, such as Stalker, Aliens or any­thing by the Broth­ers Quay. Read au­thors known for imag­i­na­tive worlds. China Miéville, Michael Moor­cock and HP Love­craft come to mind. Look for artists who ex­plore the un­canny and hor­rific.
